Hand-crafted, award-winning tequila from Jalisco, México
About us
Founded by Kendall Jenner, 818 Tequila is an award-winning, hand-crafted premium tequila brand produced in Jalisco, Mexico. Crafted using traditional methods at a family-owned-and-operated distillery, the brand has won 43 blind tasting awards across 13 international spirits competitions, including Best Reposado Tequila from the World Tequila Awards, Platinum Award from the SIP Awards, Chairman's Trophy from the Ultimate Spirits Challenge, Triple Gold from the MicroLiquor Spirit Awards, Top 100 Spirits from the Ultimate Spirits Challenge, and Innovation Award from the SIP Awards. From its 1% for the Planet giveback, to its partnership with S.A.C.R.E.D. – a nonprofit that supports Mexican communities where heritage agave spirits are made – to working with local, family-owned businesses in Jalisco, Mexico and sustainable suppliers, 818 Tequila embodies an emerging consumer ethos that is as conscious about the product itself as it is about the Earth. Most recently, 818 was certified as a B Corporation™ for having met B Labs™’ strict certification of the brand’s operations and business model in the areas of Governance, Workers, Community, Environment, Consumers and Disclosure. Sustainably produced from one hundred percent Weber Blue agaves, 818 Tequila features four variations – a Blanco, Reposado, Añejo, and Eight Reserve by 818, an ultra-premium, painstakingly crafted Añejo Reserve.

Last week, we celebrated our 3rd year at Coachella. Even though we aren’t an official festival sponsor, we’ve successfully made Coachella a tentpole brand engagement moment for 818 Spirits. This year, we brought our 818 Outpost Pop Up to life in the biggest and best way yet. As an alcohol brand, creating our own event was a risk (it’s much easier to sponsor other people’s events!) but we proved this year that we’ve earned the right to activate alongside lifestyle brands like Revolve, Celsius, and Nylon because we’ve created such an incredible community of 818 consumers. We also stand out from the pack by being one of the only Coachella parties that opens up GA invites to our social followers, because we know our consumers want to experience the magic alongside the amazing content creators. Thank you so much to the over 1500 people who joined us at the 818 Outpost this year! A huge shoutout also to our brand partners who took the leap with us - Bumble Inc. OLIPOP PBC Gopuff Chamberlain Coffee Tezza Anastasia Beverly Hills ZICO Tower 28 Beauty, Inc. Sprinter Spirits Saie Lemme Safely Vacation Inc. and more! Also lastly, a big thank you to our phenomenal marketing team and agency partners who spent many long days and nights bringing this to life. I am privileged to work with all of you.
